I noticed the markings too, fortunately I got rid of mine after a couple of weeks. They don't stay closed either, they're all like that, especially if folded back behind the phone for any period of time my white case would immediately flip fully open (mine was genuine too, bought from Verizon).
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gdeadfan:
Best Buy won't exchange it, but gave me a Samsung number to get it replaced since it was caused by the Samsung case. Samsung won't exchange it, because apparently I damaged it myself? How on earth am I actually stuck with a scuffed up phone that I did nothing but baby for a week with the official Samsung case? Where the heck do I go from here?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] franki_667:
That is a horrible story. I have the sview case and I'll stop using it now...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gdeadfan:
Here's a photo of the damage.

Please beware, this is a huge issue. If you aren't using a screen protector, stay far away from this case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Grimcreaper:
Honestly it sounds like some dust is getting stuck between the cover and your screen while its in your pocket. the pressure most likely is causing the dust/sand to scrape the glass in very specific motions. I was using the leather Folio inscipio case and got scared that would happen (The case also started to break apart... Inscipio is way overpriced considering how garbage this case was. the plastic bumper started breaking in multiple places, chunks broke off, etc.) I live in southern Arizona, so i didnt want to take the chance of sand shredding my screen.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Zlog:
It's almost certainly dust getting trapped under the cover and then being rubbed in. If you run your fingers over the inside edge of the window you can feel where particles could/will get trapped.

Always use a screen protector. Always.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] christianpeso:
Ditto to what the 2 people above me said. I have an S-View case bought from Best Buy and I definitely do not get this. I also have a Zagg shield on it as well though

I love the thought of the case, but with it not staying closed after having it flipped behind the phone for a while is annoying. I wonder if they didnt use magnets for the case to stay closed cause it would interfere with something? I have taken the case off for now. Not returning cause I will probably still use it again sooner or later, but for now I like it better with no case and a Zagg shield.

On the phone with Samsung ATM

I noticed this same exact problem last Friday. Considering I've been ultra - ocd with my phone, and clean it and my s view case at least 8 times a day, I can not believe it is caused by dust particles. I have scratches on my screen, from the bottom Window border, and lots of small scratches inside the borders of the Window on my phone screen. I have the same issue where you can wipe it away but it comes back after you swipe the screen.

I'm currently on hold with Samsung. On Friday they told me they would replace my phones screen for free, because the damage was caused by an official accessory. Today, However, they told me they couldn't do anything unless the screen was cracked. I've now spoken with 10+ people, but someone keeps hanging up on me, and I'm stuck on endless hold. The last person says I will be receiving a free screen replacement, and a new s view cover. ... But now I'm just waiting to get off hold!!!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] galaxy808:
I can see this happening the S-View cover on the inside does not have a microfiber lining like I was expecting, so I can see how rubbing can cause scratches over time.

however, why didn't you folks just fork over the 17.00 bucks for an iloome glass screen protector or similar? even a cheapy plastic one would have saved you this heartache.

I know an official cover shouldn't have done this but hey if you are OCD like I am just buy a friggin screen protector.

if you get lucky and samsung replaces it the screen, get a screen protector or ditch the case hehe.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Niwrad:
holy crap thats nasty...is it possible there was some dirt got into the inside part of the cover? hows the inside door feels like anyway..is it smooth?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nespid:
That doesn't look like surface scratching you'd see from the silica particulates that you're likely to find in your pocket.

That there is the oleophobic coating wearing away. That's why when you clean it, it disappears and then when you touch it, it reappears. The oils on your fingers aren't being "repelled" evenly.

Try a different approach with Sammy and best buy. Don't tell them it's scratched. Point out what I just told you; you have a week old phone, in which the oleophobic coating is prematurely wearing away.

I wouldn't take no for an answer. That's clearly a matter of product failure.

As for the s case having the overhanging edges; that's to offer some protection to the edges and break the impact when it's dropped.

And for God's sake man, get a tempered glass screen protector. :)

In fact, worst case scenario, get one (I recommend spigen glas.tr), then clean the screen and apply protector. It'll keep those smudges from reappearing and give your your beautiful display back

Good luck man.

Seems like user error to me
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] theusername:
I noticed mine doing it too, so I got a screen protector for my phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mikegrmn:
I'm really sorry for OP. But after my spigen bounce case and my lovemei aluminum bumper, I thought about getting either the wallet or the s-view case, because so far, I always have liked the book-like covers I used on my ereaders and ipad. But it seems that this one clearly tells me to go with the wallet case as it doesn't have a screen. So I'd suspect that the cover wouldn't have a single spot where it can damage parts of the phone. Aah, and I have a screen protector on anyway, but this is because I have my phone in my pocket just with the spigen case.

Even if OP is going through a lot of trouble for something he didn't even cause, I'm really glad he shared.

Well, I have tried to find the answers for a few weeks now with no luck so I will just pose it.

Has anyone been able to send a Gif. using the default KitKat rom and Hangouts application? I have attempted multiple images with no luck. I am trying to send to an iPhone.

Things I understand:

I know you can send a gif using hang out to hangout (gtalk to gtalk)

I am ABLE to recieve gifs sent to me from an iphone and they move and work in the hangouts app

When i try and send a gif the Nexus 5 compresses the image considerably so much so that it sends just a single static image whereas the iPhone will compress it as well without sacrificing the motion. I appreciate your time and any thing you wish to contribute.

[HTC One S] Camazza:
Hi guys, something pretty bad happened tonight to my Htc One S.

I had maximusHD installed, so of course S-OFF and bootloader Unlocked. However, I was having some problems and decided to revert back to stock. I re-locked the bootloader, changed the CID back to the stock one and flashed the RUU. Everything went perfectly fine. Sort of. I noticed that the RUU I flashed was some kind of pre-release one (the whole interface was watermarked). I got that from androidruu.com

So I downloaded a newer RUU (yes, both of them were for the appropriate country) and flashed that one.

It went on normally for a while and then nothing. Black screen, no response, no charging light. It shows as QHSUSB_dload under Windows and as Qualcomm Gobi Wireless Modem under Linux.

Now, are RUUs so damn risky? Luckily the phone was Relocked and S-ON, so warranty should cover this. I read all kinds of threads about this problem but none of the proposed solutions worked... did I miss something or do really need to send it for repairs?

Thanks!
[HTC One S] csakthikumar:
Hi,

I was stuck with the same issue. What threads have you tried I heard the only way is via JTAG but just wanna know if there is any other way
[HTC One S] Camazza:
It seems like I could do something with the phone using QPST (which I have). What I'm missing are the device and chipset-specific files that need to be recovered from a working phone. There has been some talk about QPST and its usefulness here on xda, but I think they only made i work for some Samsung devices with Qualcomm chipsets.

Is there someone who is willing to help me, maybe by dumping the contents of his phone using QPST and posting them? I only need the SPL partition, which is the HBOOT i need to recover the phone.

Please, tell me I don't have to send it to HTC...
[HTC One S] csakthikumar:
QPST is just a software right... no hardware is required for it ha!!!!... I thought jtag is the only way to access a bircked phone.

our pc is able to detect QHSUSB_dload and via that itself will we be able to flash a mobile if we have a system dump??
[Nexus 5 General] phonepersonality:
This may be documented somewhere else in this thread, but I haven't seen it. So I figured I'd tell you how to access a hidden bonus item on your Android KitKat Device.

1. In Setttings > About Phone.

2. Tap on - 'Android Version 4.4' very rapidly 3 times and it will take you back to your home screen with a big letter 'K' embossed on the center of the screen.

3. If you tap the K it spins around. 6 fast taps take you to another image. The new Android Logo.

4. Enjoy.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Hero746:
I'm sorry if this has been asked before. I have googled this answer in many different ways but have yet to find a solution. I have even searched the Nexus 7 board back several pages.

I commute a lot on the weekends and so I like to watch movies, TV episodes, anime, etc to pass the time. I used to do it on my Samsung Galaxy SII.

I now use my 2013 Nexus 7. I use MX Player since it handles whatever I throw at it . However, I've noticed that the audio when using my headphones is barely audible whenever I am a bus or on a train. I am using MX Player's volume boost.

This issue never arose when I used my cellphone. There has to be some sort of way to boost the table's volume. What do you recommend?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nila@ufl.edu:
I guess I don't know enough about AOSP and unlocked bootloaders and the like, but can anyone with more knowledge tell me if a ROM with Halo2 is likely to come out for our device? I just saw a video of a Paranoid Android ROM with this for the LG G2 and it looked sick.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2498084

I'm right on the fence with the lack of sd card, removable battery, buttons taking up screen real estate, 1gb less ram & possibly weird button placement against the G2, For the G2 is $200 cheaper right now, bypassed bootloader, smaller form factor, and possibly not having as many issues as I've been having with things like S voice, ghost voicemails on a daily basis, Wifi unstable, etc.

Thanks for your thoughts.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iankellogg:
I really didnt like halo at all. I didnt find it a benefit to me at all. I honestly prefer just using the floating windows in the note 3. Also did you do the update yet? that really fixed my wifi issues for me.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barrackOBAMA:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nila@ufl.edu:
Were you trying Halo2? The video looks pretty enticing and simple, like you have quick access to all our apps and can control some of them (music, etc.) without opening the full app. I was just deciding between rooting before I did the update or just swapping for a G2, but yeah I see they have a wifi fix so am hopeful for that. I'm still getting a lot of ghosting issues with voicemails, emails, S-Voice keeps shutting down on me and stops listening, etc. and am just wondering how much of a difference that bypassed bootloader is going to make.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cowboyaryk:
I too want an AOSP looking ROM for my phone. I dont like all this Samsung crap. I actually wish I could get the droid maxx/ultra looking ROM on the note 3. The lock screen, the ok Google function even when the phone is off. The blue colors for font or notification bar, I believe it's the ICS blue yes?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajj915:
My buddy who works for Verizon said to stay away from the G2. Good phone but Verizon will forget about it. He said they aren't even pushing it and that the resale value will be crap. Look at the steep discounts already.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrichards2009:
G2 is on sale for $50 on Verizon website and the code slick50 makes it free with a contract
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nila@ufl.edu:
Yeah that's a big incentive for switching. I looked at potential resale values too and it looks like most 2 year old Samsung's are selling for less than $300. So if I save $220 switching to the LG, even if the resale value on it in 2 years is $100 I'm better off. As far as Verizon supporting it or not I'll probably be sticking with the custom ROMs so may not be as big of a concern. I see it like this:

Cost (LG)

Build quality (Samsung)

CPU & RAM (Slight Edge to Samsung)

Physical components like sd card, s pen, removable battery & button placement (Samsung)

Proprietary features like S Voice, keyboards, Q-Slide, Multiwindow (Slight Edge to Samsung, although they are finicky at best IMO)

Developer support & access (LG)

I think to me it comes down to the last two items for these devices, as Samsung has a slight edge in the build and physical components but LG is cheaper to compensate for that difference. If developer support and the bypassed bootloader brings in a whole slew of functionality to the G2 that would overcome the slight advantages I see to the always listening feature of S Voice or the better functionality of Pen Window & Multiwindow.

hi

I have a simple yet a profound question that affects the note 3 particularly the n9002 note 3 owners

hate the Chinese keyboard on it and google android keyboard is not cutting it for me..

im trying to get the enlgish Samsung keyboard of note 3 on my device

the question is will flashing the kernel from a n9005 (same processor soc 800) on to my device screw up anything particularly the dual sim part or will it not be affected ?

and the biggest question .. will it brick my device or not ?????

if not then I am willing to go ahead and just try flashing a n9005 kernel on the device

[Samsung Infuse 4G] shrdlud:
After recently getting my fancy sgs3 stolen, I'm seriously considering keeping the Infuse as my daily driver, rooted and flashed with custom rom.

That said, if I was shooting for rock solid stability and maximum battery life anyone can possibly squeeze out of this (strangely high spec for a 2 year old) device, where would I begin?

Any kind of suggestions on kernels/radios/roms modification would be greatly appreciated!

For reference: right now I'm running aeon 1.4, pulling two gmail accounts with smatterings of ebook reading, IM'ing and tumblr posting. And the phone lasts for about two hours of screen time, six to ten hours of battery life per day.

Again, thanks guys!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Casper36:
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if your running Aeon 1.4SL you should be able to flash one of the Synthesis kernels (1.2 GHz for best batt life) and video/MHL will still work without having to worry about flashing the restore. This should improve your overall battery life some. I'm new to this so you may want to wait for some experience to chime in. I have however flashed the 1.2 GHz Synthesis kernel while on Emancipation A1 and seen improved battery life.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] jkakkanad:
When I run GB, I use AEON 1.4 SL. I usually get a little more than 1 day with moderate use. 2+ days with light use. I run Entropy's 4/4/12 Daily Driver as a kernel and UCLB3 for my modem. I used UCKL2 for a little while because I had issues with signal strength at my home but it drained my battery more quickly.

----- edit -----

I haven't tried the Synthesis kernel because I've been running JB recently. But the response in the forums has been positive. You should give it a spin.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] shrdlud:
Thanks!

Hmm that battery life sounds a bit better than what I get... I guess there's certainly room to tweak around with stuff.

How do you feel about running post ICS roms on infuse 4G so far? Are they worth it? Any significant performance/battery life hits you've noticed so far?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jkakkanad:
The JB roms are very good although they do push the Infuse hardware pretty hard. They're very smooth and the only things that don't work are 720p video and MHL (if I remember correctly). Battery life is about the same although you might have to tweak the CPU settings a bit.

----edit----

The JB roms do experience some instability because, if I understand the situation correctly, they use a modified GB kernel. This can sometimes cause unexpected reboots or shut downs. It hasn't been an issue for me but if you're looking for stability, you can't go wrong with GB.
